What is a good way to get bats to leave an attic? Tried exterminator and sealing off the holes on the house?


Did you know they are a protected creature so by law you are not allowed to harm them? We have tried almost everything to convince these bats to leave, will try almost any suggestion.

You could call animal control. I know it's against the law to kill them but who would catch you, you could feed them a little dish of antifreeze then give them a nice funeral in the backyard.

bats like the dark.. LIGHT THEM UP WITH FLOODLIGHTS. they will leave. THEN BLOCK THE HOLES THEY ARE GETTING IN.

Check your local hardware store, they make a "sonic pest control" device, you just plug it in and leave it, you can't hear it, but the bats do and they don't like it. I put two in my parents attic and the bats have been gone for 2yrs now.

well, what about getting bat food to lure them out... or make a new bat home and move them there.. can't you use a net?
